ping and traceroute issue

[gatetec]

// AIX 5.2.8

ping and traceroute to a UNIX node fail because it is hitting Standby IP for HACMP 5.1 rather than Service IP of the AIX node I am pinging from. All of the other UNIX nodes are pingable and tracerouted through Service IP.
What could be the root cause of this issue? How come it is hitting Standby IP and the traffic cant go out of the node that I am in?

thx

The cause could be anything!?!

Could be wrong subnet masks! could be misconfigured VLANs!

Could be wrong DNS entry! pointing to the standby instead of the service IP!

So it could be for so many reasons!

to start with, could you list the following from on that machine:

ifconfig -a

show the ip configuration of the cluster (I don't remember exactly what command to be used -- try clshowres -v)

review the dns & vlans configuration of your cluster
